Monthly Meetings

If you’ve never come to a House of Lithuania (HoL) meeting, or attended some time ago but perhaps were disappointed in the proceedings, we invite you to come to the reorganized, more pro-active HoL. Our meetings now include talks/presentations by members and guest speakers on topics of interest to all of us. The current series should be of interest to both recent emigres and those looking to reconnect to their long-lost Lithuania roots.

Time:

Our meetings are on the first Saturday of each month - refreshments at 11 am, followed at 11:30 by our regular business meeting and the program or presentation of the month.
